Color Inspiration #10 Round-up
The above card is for all you blog buddies! I've been such a slacker and I have left ya'll hangin' for SO long! You guys are too good to me--hangin' in there until I can squeak out some spare time in the middle of the night. :)
Anyhow, here's my real card for the Color Inspiration Challenge. I made the sorry card after I made this one. Seriously, thanks for being so patient. :)I bought this little lamb-y stamp back in March when I was in New York. I bought it at Kate's Paperie--which, by the way! If you're ever in New York, you must go to Kate's! It's awesome! Anyhow, back on topic...
Can you believe it's taken me this long to get around to using this adorable little lamb? I don't recall who the stamp is by... It was a name I've never heard of. I'll update ya'll with it later. :)
My word, I need to clean out my stash more often! I've been unearthing all this incredible stuff that I forgot about! As soon as the room is all cleaned up, I'm sure I'll have plenty of inspiration. ;) And according to all your comments about my messy craft room, a lot of you have the same issue!
Obviously, I'm still stuck on the circles-turned-into-scallops! I just can't stop using this little detail! I LOVE it! What about you guys? Have you tried it out yet?
Okay, now on to the Color Inspiration Round-up!

You are such a sweetie being so concerned for all of us. I have to admit, I've been suffering some MAJOR Kristina withdrawals! :) I love you lamb-y card. SO CUTE!!
Good luck with cleaning and finding lost treasures.
You have nothing to be sorry about, anyone who crafts and blogs knows sometimes you can't do both at the same time :)
I am so proud to see some of my Aussie counterparts up there in your Top 10 and in the random selections. The girls are on fire!
You're a great source of inspiration, Kristina! Maybe one day I'll actually get time to participate in the challenge.
You are absolutely hysterical! Totally cracked me up with your first card! Love the lamb card too. I can't stop using the circle punch scallop detail either. It's so fun! Thanks for all your inspiration!

This blog buddy loves the card you made for us all. And the little lamb is adorable! As for me, I've been using my corner rounder to created my scalloped edge.

I just love your blog and come to it daily to get my fix! LOL

Your first card made me laugh. Hope the office tidying up is going well. Take your time, we aren't going anywhere.
That 'slacker' card is too funny. Can't wait to see what new treasure's you show us with all the "finds" in the craft room.
Still impressed you find time to do all this with all that you do. TA! Amy.
Love your slacker it is too cute and your lamb card is adorable. I have you in my google reader so always know when you are showing something new and wonderful
LOL!!!! Love it, you're too fynny with the slacker card!!
Welcome Back Blogging Buddy!
We did miss you, but you can see that we are all still here for you.
So, is it just me or is anyone else having problems viewing some of the winning entries? The 1" previews look nice, but I got a couple of error messages when trying to view them on their respective sites... oh well, wasn't meant to look, I guess.
Some beautiful creations from all of you!
yay top 10! woot! :) Thanks Kristina!!
your card made me laugh, too funny!
Yahoo! Thanks so much for choosing my card for the top 10. I'm honored!
I also had some difficulty viewing entries that are posted on sites that require a password (SCS). Once I logged in I could see them!
Like you, I'm also in the process of cleaning out my office/craft room. Made some real progress after I saw how you organize your paper in a file drawer. Thanks for the idea!
Hi Kristina...
Thanks for posting a card, love all of your creations and visit your blog daily!! And so you don't have to scramble for that stamp info, the lamb you used I believe is from Rubber Soul. No worries on being "a slacker" as you say, everyone needs a break!
thanks..michele h
Waoo!!! I'm so happy my card is in the random 10, thanks so much.
I love your cards.

lol, what cute cards, and I wouldn't worry about being a slacker, we all have our days :)
Love the little sheep stamp too! that's super cute! I did manage to get a card done for this, it's just really late (see, I'm a slacker too lol!)
you can check it out if you want too, your top ten look GREAT too, all of your picks do!
chow,

Slacker...I don't think so. This is something you do because you enjoy it. I will have to admit I miss it when you don't post. Thanks for all the great ideas and inspirations you provide.
I love that lamb stamp! So cute!
Kristina, THAT CARD IS TOO funny! It made me smile and [Laugh] right away! Definately having withdrawals... but we are only human, right?
Hopefully you are having a craft room cleaning sale??? Pretty please, LOL Just kidding! hope you are feeling better.
You are to funny. Both cards are wonderful as usual.
Thanks for the laugh.
Wow, thanks so much for picking my card....very cool!! Love your lamb card very cute!! Your "sorry" card is to funny! TFS all you do!!
What gorgeous cards as always! You rock!! I too am loving using the punched circles as a scalloped edge, as my corner rounder doesnt quite produce a nice scallop :)
And thanks so much for picking me for top ten.. what an honor!! Cheers!
I don't think you are slacker. You do so much with your blog, you are always on top of it!! Give yourselft some credit! It's okay to take a break once in a while! Now I have a question, I'm not much of a card maker. I'm more of a scrapbooker. I'd like to try your color challenge, would it be okay if I did it with a scrapbook page instead of a card?
Thank you so much Kristina for selecting my card as one of the random ten cards. This being my first time at your challenge as well made it doubly exciting for me! Love your cute little lamb card!!
You've inspired me to get my craft room in order. I know I have lots of treasure to be rediscovered!
Glad you are back!! You had good reasons to be gone, I understand. Yes, I love the circle to scallop idea. I used it on my mothers day card, and can you believe it I forgot to take a pic before I sent them out, agh!! they were so cute!!
Oh well, maybe I'll have my mom send it back to me. LOL!!! Can't wait to see your new cleaned up craft room.
Ok, that "I'm a slacker" card was too funny, and totally tricked me, until I scrolled down! I thought "no way she did that as her CI card!!" You crack me up!! :o)
That lamb is *adorable*. Kate's is definitely on my list for NYC ;o)

Hey Kristina,
I used the circles as scallops a few weeks ago on this card here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/922741?cat=500&ppuser=138363
I'm so glad you showed this trick on MACM. I know you can make your own scallop edge using a corner rounder punch but I haven't had time to master that yet, lol.
Looking forward to the next MACM!
how do you make the circles turned into scallops
I was too late for the challenge but wanted to post it anyways!
Kristina-
I love how you show the round-up and top ten in the little click-able square grid. I was wondering if you would share how you create the grid? What program do you use?
Thanks so much,
